Task
6. Learn the transition area
Required
Where the bike gear and running gear live during a race, and how to move from one leg to the next smoothly and safely: mounting and dismounting, and adjusting gear. This is the multisport-specific skill.
Notes and warnings
Note. The transition area is the one skill that belongs to multisport rather than to swimming, biking or running. Requirement 7 asks you to demonstrate a smooth and safe transition between every leg, so this is not something to work out on the morning of the race.
